Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Lord Mahadeva's teachings - Ananyabhakthi as a boon - The significance of the worship of Bhramin, Santh, Mahathma and noble souls

 

Chapter - 109 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –Lord Mahadeva's teachings - Ananyabhakthi as a boon - The significance of the worship of Bhramin, Santh, Mahathma and noble souls

 Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the above-mentioned verses was known as Rudrashtakam, the sacred eight verses sung in praise of Lord Shambhu by the Bhramin/my preceptor, whoever recite or listen would achieve the grace of Lord Shambhu. Soon a heavenly voice was reverberated inside the shrine after listening to prayers of the wise and devoted “Oh! Bhramin, ask for a boon”. The twice-born was sunk into extreme bliss, with tears overflowing and folded hands requested “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Dheenadhayala, if you are pleased with my prayers, kindly bless me with the perpetual devotion/Ananyabhakthi at your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, this unfortunate and ignorant Jeeva keeps falling into various Yonis/taking several births, due to the influence of your Maya. Oh! Merciful Lord, kindly be gracious to this ignorant Jeeva, do not be angry with him. Oh! Shankara, kindly be gracious to him, Oh! Prabho, you are kind to your devotees, kindly turn your curse to become a blessing for this Jeeva, so as to achieve the fruitfulness of the life. Oh! Kripanidhana kindly blesses him.”

 

Sage Kakabhusundi continues “Oh! Khagapathi, the supreme Lord Mahadeva was so kind and compassionate to the appeal of twice-born, which was full of devotion. Lord Shambhu spoke “Yevamasthu! So be it! Oh! Bhramin, this Jeeva committed a grievous sin on his preceptor, so I had to curse him to keep up the sanctity of the Shashthras,  I am pleased with your devotion, hence I have decided to offer a marvelous boon to him. Oh! Sadhu, whoever has the nature of forgiving, and kindness, are dear to me and Kharari Lord Rama as well. Oh! Bhramin, my curse pronounced will not go in vain, he has to take several births in different Yonis, but I can assure you that none of the sufferings and grief of worldly existence won't affect him.” Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord Shambhu turned towards me and spoke “Oh! Shudra, listen to me carefully, in each birth you will have the qualities of devotion, because you have been born in Ayodhya, the sacred land of Lord Raghupathi, and you have worshiped me so long. Hence, the miraculous power of the birth on the sacred land Ayodhya and my grace would bring an abundance of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra in your heart. Oh! Jeeva, listen to my words, the worship of Bhramin is the definite means to please Lord Sri Hari. The disrespect to a twice-born/Bhramin, Santh Mahathma, noble souls, devotees of Lord Sri Hari is disrespect to Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Jeeva, whoever keeps hostility against the devotees of Lord Hari and me, may defeat the weapon of Lord Indra, my powerful trident, and Lord Sri Hari’s discus but they could not withstand the wrath of the Brahmin. Oh! Jeeva, always remember my teachings in your heart, nothing is impossible to achieve. I shall offer one more boon to you, that you will have unconditional access to the whole Universe.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – A beautiful prayer to Bhavanipathi Lord Shambhu

 

Chapter - 108 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –A beautiful prayer to Bhavanipathi Lord Shambhu

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, my preceptor produced a shrill cry listening to the curse of Lord Mahadeva upon me. He saw me shivering in extreme terror and confusion, he could not control his grief, watching me in extreme distress, my preceptor shed tears and fell at the feet of Lord Shiva, with tears overflowing, hands folded above his head, sing in praise of Lord Mahadeva" –

“I shall prostrate before the supreme Lord Esha, who is the ruler of Eastern direction, Lord of the Universe, bliss personified, the omnipresent Bhramam, represent Veda and its six auxiliaries. I shall worship the supreme Lord Mahadeva, who has neither birth nor death, provider of Nirvana, free from the impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, he represents the Universe and its living non-living things. Oh! Prabho,  I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, I shall sing in praise of your endless glories, you have no specific form, even though you are kind enough to appear before your devotees, Oh! Prabho, your glories are beyond word, you are beyond perception, you are so kind and compassionate to your devotees. You represent the sacred syllable ‘Om’ Oh! Mahakala, Oh! Kailasavasa, you are the abode of virtues, you are the devourer of the Universe and its living and non-living things at the end of Pralaya. Oh! Prabho, Shankara, you are merciful, you represent ‘Time’ Oh! Prabho, you are beloved of all, you are unfathomable, you have supreme abode Kailash, snow-covered mountain. Oh! Prabho, you have a marvelous appearance that resembles the snow-covered Himalaya, you have the loveliness of thousands of Manmatha, you have attractive matted hair locks adorned with the beautiful streams of Ganga and the crescent moon. Oh! Prabho, you have attractive limbs adorned in serpents as ornaments on the neck, you have beautiful ear ornaments, eyebrows, lotus-like eyes, marvelous blue throat, you are attired in the skin of a leopard, adorned in a garland of skull and Rudraksha on your chest. I shall surrender at the lotus feet of Bhavanipathi Lord Shambhu, Oh! Prabho, you are Prachanda/unrestrained, you have great effulgence of hundreds and thousands of suns, you are impenetrable, you are the destroyer of Thapathraya/Adhidheivik, Adhibhauthik, and Adhyathmik, Oh! Prabho, you are wielded in powerful trident, you are attainable only with pure love and devotion. Oh! Prabho, you are the destroyer of the Universe and its animate and inanimate things, after each Yuga. You are the source of perpetual devotion and bliss to the virtuous, Oh! Thripurari, Oh! Chidhanandhaswaroopa, Oh! Mohapahari, dispeller of desires and lust, Oh! Prabho, kindly protects us, kindly be propitious to us. Oh! Manmathari/slayer of cupid, the Jeeva who is afar from the worship of Umapathi Lord Shiva, it is impossible for them to achieve serenity of mind, or difficult to get rid of three types of griefs or liberation from the repeated births. Oh! Prabho, kindly be gracious to us, Oh! Sarvabhoothadhivasa/reside as a soul in the Jeeva, Oh! Prabho, I do not know Yoga or Japa, or performance of rites. Oh! Prabho, all I know is to prostrate before you several times. Oh! Shambhu kindly protects us, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, I am worn out of Jara/aging and related illnesses, anxiousness, fear of death, sufferings, and grief of worldly existence. Oh! Shambhu, I have no one to protect me other than you.  Oh! Umapathi, I shall take refuge at your lotus feet, kindly protect us.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The curse of Lord Mahadeva

 

Chapter - 107 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –The curse of Lord Mahadeva

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, once I was engaged in the meditation of Lord Shambhu in the shrine, I could sense my aged preceptor entering the shrine, I was swollen with extreme pride, did not raise from the seat, or greet him with respect. He was too gracious did not even mention a word, or did not keep a single thing in his heart. Oh! Garuda, my grievous sin, disrespect towards my preceptor was more than Lord Mahesha could tolerate, soon a divine voice was heard “Oh! Fool, even after attaining a virtuous Santh Mahathma as your preceptor, you did not respect him, he was too kind and compassionate to you. If I did not punish you for your misdemeanor, it would be against the Veda, I should keep up the sanctity of the Veda so I shall pronounce a curse upon you. The ignorant who disrespect or humiliate his preceptor would be hurled to the hell named Raurava for several Yugas, after that they would take up birth in different Yoni and undergo suffering. You have been seated like a python, even after witnessing your aged preceptor, you did not even try to raise from your seat or greet him with respect, your mind was swollen with arrogance and pride, hence I shall pronounce a curse on you that you would take birth as a python, leave the shrine immediately and take shelter in the hollow of a tree.”

Chapter - 106 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –The worship of Lord Shambhu provide devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks "Oh! Garuda, I was born in a lowly clan, drenched in impurities of lust, desire, ego, anger, jealousy, pride, etc. I was hostile towards Bhramins and the devotees of Lord Vishnu. My preceptor was extremely saddened to watch my arrogance, he advised me several times were fallen to deaf ears. Whenever I listen to his advice I would burn with rage, one day my preceptor called me and began to speak meticulously on moral values “Oh! Dear son, the worship of Lord Shambhu is carried out for achieving firm devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Lord Shambhu represents Bhrama, Vishnu, and Maheshwara, he is absolute Bhramam, hence if you want happiness in your life, adore at the lotus feet of Lord Rama, leave all your hatred towards the devotees of Rama who is worshiped by the trinities.” Oh! Garuda, when I listened to the speeches of my preceptor who taught the Paramarththa, I was infuriated, like the serpent fed the milk turn against its Master, I could not control my rage, ego, and pride and I had little knowledge as I was born in the lowest clan, further I have developed intense hatred towards my preceptor too. I took all opportunities to disgrace my preceptor, even after all these, my preceptor was so kind and compassionate to me. Oh! Garuda, the wicked does not like the company of the virtuous, make all possible ways to kill the wise, like the smoke puff off the fire, the dust carries out by the wind causes damage to the eyesight. Oh! Brother, it is always a good idea to abandon the company of wicked people, the noble Santh Mahathma repeatedly advice to leave the association of vile, it not good to quarrel with a wretched person or keep ally with him, the wise would keep aloof to the deceitful and wicked like a dog. Oh! Garuda, I was drenched in impurities, none of the advice of my preceptor was pleasing to me.”

Chapter - 105 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –Sage Kakabhusundi describes his previous birth to Garuda

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Byalari, the Maya of the Mayapathi represent good and evil, hence the Jeeva cannot protect themselves from evil without the worship of Lord Sri Hari, leaving the impurities such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, pride, arrogance, ignorance, anger, etc. Oh! Garuda, In the Kali era I have taken birth in the sacred city of Ayodhya and lived for many years until the terrible famine engulfed the Kingdom, I had to abandon the city of Ayodhya for my survival. Oh! Uragari, I have settled in Ujjain, I found that place is miserable with full of the penniless, distressed, desolate,  and lowly clan of people. I have spent some time in this place, earned money, and started to worship Lord Shambhu. There was a twice-born/Bhramin, pious, learned, virtuous worshiped Lord Shambhu according to Vedic rite, he is a fervent devotee of Lord Shambhu and had a devotion to Lord Sri Hari as well. I served this Bhramin so long selflessly, he was so kind and loving to me, he taught me the rites performed to please Lord Shambhu, imparted the greatest of knowledge considering me as his own son. I used to visit the shrine of Lord Shambhu, and practice the Manthraupadhesha/the highly powerful secret verses to please the Lord for my own personal benefits.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda –The characteristics of the four Yuga/Kritha, Thretha, Dwapara, and Kali Yuga can be experienced in one's own heart

 

Chapter - 104 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –The characteristics of the four Yuga/Kritha, Thretha, Dwapara, and Kali Yuga can be experienced in one's own heart

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, there is no Yuga highly meritorious as the Kali Yuga, there mere recitation of sacred names of Lord, singing in praise of the Lord would remove the sufferings and grief of worldly existence, eventually, it would liberate the Jeeva from the Garbhavasadhukham/repeated births. Dharma has four pillars, and one among them is Charity, hence the performance of charity brings an abundance of piousness in the Kali era. Oh! Garuda, it is the Maya of the Mayapathi that influences the Jeeva to experience the characteristics of four Yugas in one’s own heart on a regular basis. The Sathvik nature in the Jeeva resembles the Sathya Yuga, the qualities of selflessness, innocence, virtues, honesty, sense of oneness in all, spiritual insight, etc. were predominant in the Kritha Yuga. The abundance of Sathvik nature with a tinge of Rajasik nature such as passion, dedication, and enjoyment are the characteristics of Thretha Yuga. The abundance of Rajasik nature along with the Thamasik and a bit of Sathvik nature represents the Dwapara Yuga, the Jeeva swelled with the pride, jealousy, lust, desire, ignorance, and arrogance, and a little bit of selflessness and fear, anxiousness and joy resemble the characteristics of Dwapara Yuga. The abundance of Thamasik nature, selfishness, deceitfulness, wickedness, lust, desire, ego, jealousy, anger, pride, ignorance, arrogance, etc. represent the Kali Yuga, the Jeeva drenched in worldly matters, overpowered by the impurities of mind represent Kali era. Hence, the wise and noble souls would choose the righteous path, get rid of impurities and sufferings of worldly existence, forsake the Rajasik and Thamasik nature by practice of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Khagaraya/Garuda, the ‘Time’ won’t take control of the Jeeva who is devoted at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, like the tricks of the Master of magician won’t surprise his disciple, while the whole crowd watches it in awe.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The commendable deeds in the Kali era

 

Chapter - 103 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –The commendable deeds in the Kali era

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Byalari/enemy of serpent, the Kali era would be the storehouse of impurities such as Kama/lust, Krodha/anger, Lobha/greed, Moha/desire, Madha/desire, Mathshcharya/ignorance, Ahamkara/arrogance, Mamakara/pride, etc. Although it has some marvelous merits too, the Jeeva can get rid of sufferings of worldly existence, and liberation from the repeated births/Garbhavasa Dhukham, easily without much austerities and penance. Oh! Garuda, the Jeeva can achieve the state of liberation from repeated cycles of birth at ease, compared to the Sathyayuga/Kritha, Threthayuga, and Dwaparayuga which is well known for Tapasya, the performance of fire sacrifices, and worship of deities respectively. In the Kali era, Jeeva could achieve the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari easily with the practice of pure love and devotion, and the utterance of his sacred names. Oh! Khagapathi, in Sathyayuga the Jeeva were extremely intelligent and possessed mystic skills, hence they had adopted meditation and contemplation as the tool to achieve the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. In the Thretha Yuga, people engaged in fire sacrifices to please the deities, thereby achieved liberation from the repeated cycles of births. In the Dwaparayuga, people conducted the worship of Lord Sri Ramachandra and achieved the fruitfulness of their lives. In the Kali era, the Jeeva could easily attain the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari by singing in praise of his glories and reciting his sacred names. Oh! Garuda, in the Kaliyuga, the intelligence and life span of the people would be considerably low, they won’t be able to conduct Thapasya, austerities, vows, etc. due to lack of concentration, or they can’t perform Yaga, Yagna, etc. due to lack of purity of ingredients used for the Yaga, absence of purity of place and person, hence mere uttering the names of Lord Sri Hari would bring fruitfulness in their lives. Oh! Garuda, in the Kali era whoever recites or listens to the glories of Lord Sri Ramachandra with pure love and devotion, would easily cross the unfathomable ocean of worldly existence and repeated births as well. The recitation of scriptures and utterance of sacred names of Lord Sri Ramachandra are enough to protect the Jeeva from Samsarasagara and Garbhavasadhukham, another commendable virtue of the Kali era is the noble deed by word, mind, and deed are highly admirable, and the sins committed by mind/Manasika Papa won’t bring evil effects on the Jeeva.”
